What Causes Small Painful Lump In The Center Of The Forehead?
Hi, my partner has a pea sized movable lump in the centre of his forehead. It doesn t hurt when he touches it and no head has formed to indicate a pimple etc. He has had it for a couple of months and it appears to have stayed pea sized. Any suggestions??

Hello,
The persistent pea size lump which is movable is indicative of sebaceous cyst most likely. Usually, there is small tiny punctum in the center of the cyst like this. However, if you can provide me a high resolution photo pic of the lesion, it would be of immense help to consider the data on clinical grounds better way.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
